Redhawk Caldera the rocky road to dublin

Despite her young age, the concentration in Fiadh's face was apparent as she kept her head turned in her father's direction. Elwood opened his mouth to coax her on -- fully aware that she wouldn't hear his words -- when Clover suddenly bumped into her. The collision was almost in slow motion, and it was a gentle sort of crash that resulted in Clover's face being buried in Fiadh's fur. Rather than protest the sudden touch, Fiadh seemed to accept it and leaned into it.

In this position, sleep seemed eminent, but Elwood still watched the puppies carefully to see if they would become as unconscious and still as their brother -- whose napping skills were enviable -- or if they would stay awake a little longer.
